New insights on the protein-ligand interaction differences between the two primary cellular retinol carriers[S]

The main retinol carriers in the cytosol are the cellular retinol-binding proteins types I and II (CRBP-I and CRBP-II), which exhibit distinct tissue distributions. They play different roles in the maintenance of vitamin A homeostasis and feature a 100-fold difference in retinol affinity whose origi...
